Every bit of leftover food has an environmental impact - whether it’s that soggy bag of salad or last night’s leftovers. 

Food Waste Action Week 7th-13th March LoveFoodHateWaste.com/fwaw

And while governments and businesses have an important part to play in fixing the climate crisis, food waste from UK households produces roughly 25 million tonnes of CO2 every year.

That’s why on March 7th we’ll be joining millions of concerned citizens for Food Waste Action Week 2022, a week of action bringing the nation together to fight the problem of food waste.

This year the spotlight is on an unsung hero which lives in most British kitchens and could save you money as well as help save the environment.

 

 

The humble microwave.

Learn how to defrost frozen food like a ninja and you could be well on your way to saving an average of £720 a year! It’s time for ordinary citizens to roll up their sleeves and make sure food is used to feed people instead of bins, to help fix the climate crisis.

If you’re hungry for change, visit lovefoodhatewaste.com/fwaw to find out how you can get involved today.
